I don't know if my recent good fortune with them should give you hope or fill you with dread, as they feel the need to restore the balance by shitting on someone.
Well, despite all odds, the parcel arrived safe und sound. Though if Lego hadn't the foresight to put additional packing at either end of the outer carboard box, I would have a box with a bloody great big ding in one corner. OH MY GOD I've never realised that until now. How on earth have I missed that?
Necro time. Late morning today, Evri delivered a parcel, left out in the rain, didn’t bother knocking on the door. Fortunately I heard something and looked out of the window, to see the driver walking away. A few hours later, I received two identical emails from Amazon telling me, “Unfortunately, Hermes UK ran into an issue when attempting your delivery. They will try again.”
We are lucky I guess as we got a guy that delivers stuff for Everi and we got no complaints yet, DHL is another matter.
Yeah same here - our local Evri guy is a top bloke, clearly takes his job seriously, and we've had no issues in the almost 3 years we've lived here. I guess that's how the company works (or doesn't, as the case may be). I've got an ebay purchase coming by Evri and I have yet to be given the tracking info by the seller, despite placing and paying for the order on Sunday...
When we first moved to this village, 12 years ago, there was a young woman doing Hermes deliveries who was as reliable as night follows day and, always knocked and waited to hand over the parcel. After a few years she moved to another patch and, her replacement was the same.Since he stopped delivering here a couple of years ago, we have had a useless, old-skool Hermes/Evri delivery driver, who doesn't seem to give a toss.
Our local Evri guy is spot on. Always follows instructions, always ensures the safe place is safe and dry when we're out. We had a temp cover driver this week as the usual was ill and this clown hammered the door with his fist, despite there being a video doorbell, waking up the nipper. When I challenged him at the door as to why he didn't use the doorbell, he lied about company policy (since confirmed by the usual driver) stating that they weren't allowed to take instructions from a doorbell. I said to him "Firstly, that's bollox as every courier does. What do you do in a block of flats then? Jump up 5 floors and bang the window? And secondly, when I'm at home, which I was, surely a doorbell is just a doorbell until someone speaks to you through it?" This tool had no answer. Just looked at me dumbly as more of his limited intellect leaked out of his running nose. Absolute throbber of a guy. Saved the video of the whole event and sent it to the local Evri logistics manager. Evri are bad enough without employing apes with a room temperature IQ to make things worse.
If Evri hadn't taken him, Deliveroo would've, and your curry would arrive without the chutney & half the naan breads!
Food delivery in Lincolnshire it's something to behold, let me tell you... If you get something close to what you order and it's still slightly warm, take the win - because the usual delivery method seems to be Stevie Wonder driving Steven Hawking's wheelchair run on AAA's...
